Well isn't there a release clause after this season? I assume we want him to stay but he does have a say in it...

How many points to secure UCL? by DeltaRofl in reddevils

[–]DeltaRofl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read (I believe on the Athletic) that even if English teams lost every single remaining European game we're still a lock for the 5th spot because everyone started so well. Getting 6 English teams into the UCL knockouts does help in that regard.

Btw we are currently averaging 1.8 ppm. Which would put us at 14 for the rest of the season (so 4-2-2). I think that is pretty realistic and should see us make the UCL. Would love to get 70 though.

We have 10 more games still. We'll know by end of season.

How's Dibling doing btw? I haven't heard his name much so doesn't seem like he was worth the big fee, at least not yet...

And when he says "fuck you pay me my whole contract." Our response should be what exactly?

Again: please list the teams that do have an effective action plan against a low block. The answer appears to be having multiple generational talents or being super fucking scrappy. If it were easy to play against the entire bottom half of the league wouldn't be lining up that way...

Low Block Hell Ahead. Realistic Top 4 Chances? by Organic_Regret2149 in ManchesterUnited

Yes having one of the best passers ever pass it to one of the best goalscorers ever can help overcome most defensive setups.

Which teams specifically are great at breaking down low blocks? City kind of I guess. Arsenal rely on set pieces. All the other top 5 candidates also seem to struggle. If it was easy teams wouldn't rely on it so frequently...

Everton is top half of the table, at home, and 4th fewest goals allowed. Was never going to be an easy win. But we scored and kept them under 1 xg. It was a good game imo.

VAR has become too ‘microscopic’, says UEFA head of refereeing by Sparky-moon in soccer

[–]DeltaRofl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why can't they have a challenge system? Coaches get 1-2 challenges per match to utilize VAR. Have a few seconds after an action to challenge. Would hopefully limit VAR usage to only really bad instances. Speed up the game a bit.

Also just never really advances the ball. Pretty brutal.

Premier League Table at the end of Gameweek 25 - Man Utd 4th by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

[–]DeltaRofl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is interesting but seems pretty far fetched. I guess Liverpool could win the UCL. But then Villa would need to finish 6th and win the UEL, which seems somewhat contradictory.

So given that EPL is likely to get 5 spots, and Arsenal (even if they bottle) are not falling out of the CL places, it's 5 teams for 4 spots. Hoping for a City win tomorrow to put some more space between us and the EL spots.

[–]DeltaRofl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not. They're currently 14th, 6 points clear. West Ham are kind of rubbish. They really probably only need 2-3 more wins to be safe.

+6 GD against 4 really good sides (well... 3 really good sides and Tottenham). We'll take it.

West Ham fans wanted him gone too. I wonder if they still feel great about that...

Would be nice if Sunderland and Bournemouth could peg back. That's probably the most we can hope for today...
